Since its launch in 2024, the Vosteed Marten has remained among the brand's best-selling offerings. And its larger version, the 330 , helps close the gap for people who want something a bit beefier.
This silhouette's popularity seems unlikely to change with two stunning new carbon fiber versions added to the Vosteed Marten 330 lineup : Neon Topo and Copper .

Lovely layers
Classic versions of the Marten 330 come with aluminum handle scales. However, the model has utilized carbon fiber before as well.
That said, these new editions are a far cry from what the Marten has seen before, even with that same material. Previously, the carbon fiber handle option was classic woven carbon fiber in a black colorway.

The new versions share similar styling, but with different colors. The closest comparison might be to a topographical map, as the layered carbon fiber features an almost organic, wavy pattern similar to how terrain is represented on a map.
The first color, Neon Topo, is the more vibrant of the two, boasting a rainbow-like selection of colors that looks similar to the layers of a skateboard. The second is Copper, which is more subdued in its vibrance, boasting reddish-brown colors.

Old reliable
While the styling of these new Marten 330s is a big departure and marks two bold new entries, the rest of the knife remains largely intact. And that's a very good thing for those who already loved it.
The handle gets new scales, but its silhouette and ergonomics are unchanged. Furthermore, the signature button-actuated liner lock, an incredibly strong and convenient mechanism, is similarly maintained. It also still gets a lanyard hole and a reversible pocket clip.

Similarly, the blade remains unchanged. Measuring 3.30 inches and with a drop-point shape, it's made from the same old reliable 154CM as before. Both carbon fiber editions also feature black-finished blades, which add to their style and make them slightly more durable.
Like their predecessors, these new Marten 330s still measure 7.52 inches overall, putting them right in the sweet spot for everyday carry. Similarly, they're lightweight, ergonomic (as mentioned) and they look fantastic. They'll make a great addition to any collection.
At $129 for the most expensive version, both of these knives are still very budget-friendly for what they offer. - Credit: Vosteed
